We always get fun responses to our surfing-themed cartoons. There were several variations of the winning caption, but, to quote The Bard, “Brevity is the soul of wit.” Chris Vargas’ entry was the shortest so we went with his. Congratulations, dude. He will receive Steve Breen’s signed original in the mail. Thanks to all who participated. Below is next week’s contest. To enter, email your submission by 2 p.m. Wednesday to cartooncontest@uniontrib.com. Remember to include your name, address and phone number, limit your captions to three and please keep ‘em brief! __
